[MR] for "Feastocrats" and other interested folk...

[Leslie Cox]

Based on a private response I have received, it appears that I inadvertently
gave offense to at least one person by use of the term "feastocrat."  My
apologies to anyone similarly offended - again, not being someone
well-versed in cooking for events or researching such things, I used the
term I knew that might draw those interested and that I had in mind late at
night when I had a minute to spare for the keyboard.

It was and is my hope that the message itself is of more interest than the
only term I had on hand to refer to those who might find the article
interesting.  I don't post much to any lists, and I must say that being
dinged for terminology does rather dampen one's enthusiasm and the wish to
share.

With regret at any perceived slights that were most certainly unintended -
  Lady Lucy Rose Falconer
